A WV Sunday school teacher, Chris Harris, who was on his way home
from church with his girlfriend is now facing serious criminal charges
after firing a warning shot into the air.
According to WTOV,

“It was one of the most scariest experiences I have ever
been though,” said CC Roxby, Harris’ fiancé. “They surrounded me saying
some pretty vulgar things like they were going to rape my wife in front
of me, cut me,” Harris said. Roxby said she called 911, but one man
continued to be aggressive.

“The kid kept advancing on me, saying it wasn’t a real gun, and I
would much rather shoot a shot into the air to prevent them from
attacking me rather than them attacking me and me shooting someone,”
Harris said.

“The cruisers were coming down the street at that point and the young
men ran away,” Roxby said. “Instead of them following the gang, the
officers arrested Chris for firing a shot into the air.”

The mother of a woman who told police she was attacked inside an
eastside home said she is thankful for neighbors who rushed to her
daughter’s aid, including a man who held the alleged attacker at
gunpoint then chased him down and helped hold him until police arrived.

“She got lucky,” said the woman’s mother, who is not being identified
to protect the identity of the woman. “If it wasn’t for all these
people who cared enough to help her, and not turn the other cheek like
so many people would, my daughter would be dead right now.”

It may be tough to remember after six years under a President that
routinely ignores them, but laws are meant to be enforced, not
arbitrarily discarded or ignoredor amended based upon the whims of
politicians and bureaucrats.

North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory and State Agriculture
Commissioner Steve Troxler aren’t fans of a 2013 revision to the state’s
gun laws, which expanded rights to carry concealed weapons in many
places, including the state fairgrounds.

Troxler intends to post signs banning concealed carry at the North
Carolina State Fair because he chooses to believe that the law doesn’t
mean what it says.

The mysterious workings of a Pentagon office that oversees
clandestine operations are unraveling in federal court, where a criminal
investigation has exposed a secret weapons program entwined with
allegations of a sweetheart contract, fake badges and trails of
destroyed evidence.

Capping an investigation that began almost
two years ago, separate trials are scheduled this month in U.S. District
Court in Alexandria, Va., for a civilian Navy intelligence
official and a hot-rod auto mechanic from California who prosecutors
allege conspired to manufacture an untraceable batch of automatic-rifle
silencers.

Abortion is a fundamental right. Especially if you're a lesbian. If
you don't believe me then just ask Amy Schlag and Katie Peel. They are
the "married" couple that controls forty percent of UNCW's five-office
diversity industrial complex. Amy (the husband) runs the LGBTQIA Office.
Katie (the wife) runs the Women's Resource Center.

I began to get the idea that these two women were really worried
about getting pregnant when Amy started to use her LGBTQIA Office to
advocate for abortion. Last year, she sponsored a film that defended
late term abortionists as well as the gruesome practice of partial birth
abortion.

The Washington Redskins’ owner fights back against the PC police who are
trying to force him to change the name of his football team. This photo
was just take a few minutes ago of the Washington Redskins owner, Dan
Snyder, watching the football game with the president of the Navajo
Nation.

On October 9, TIME's Joe Klein published a column lumping
Breitbart News reports in with "conspiracy theories" surrounding
federal agency ammunition purchases and suggesting those reports are
causal in confusing voters as the 2014 mid-term elections approach.

To push this template, Klein had to miss an April 8, 2013, Breitbart News column
showing that government ammunition purchases were a component in the
creation of a "politically-induced buying panic" that left store shelves
barren of ammo. In turn, the scarcity of ammunition--combined with the
frenzied demand for it--drove prices through the roof.

I’d like to try to clear the air a bit when it comes to how you contract
and treat Ebola, otherwise known as African Hemorrhagic Fever. The
hysteria surrounding this virus is stunning, because most people already
know this stuff. For one, there has not been a virus pandemic since colonial times
for a reason. We know how viruses spread. If you stay in your house and
don’t have contact with other humans, it is impossible to get a virus.
Viruses need a host organism, therefore they cannot be spread through
water supplies, especially chlorinated water supplies which most of us
drink. Out in public, Ebola can most likely spread through the air, from
sneezing or coughing, but there are simple precautions you can take if
you absolutely must go out to the store, which I will get into below.

Treating Ebola is a crapshoot at this point, but I will explain the
splintered logic as to what your options are should you contract the
disease.

Even with the symptoms, I did not believe I had Ebola. After all, my contact with Sawyer was minimal. I only touched his I.V. fluid bag just that once without gloves. The only time I actually touched him was when I checked his pulse and confirmed him dead, and I wore double gloves and felt adequately protected.

Winners: Navy Cross Nguyen Van Kiet & MOH Thomas R. Norris This week’s Medal of Honor hero is one of a handful of Navy SEALs awarded the MOH in the Vietnam War. Norris snuck behind enemy lines with a South Vietnamese Navy petty officer rescued two downed pilots in 1972–when most of our resources had been pulled from the country. Interesting to note that later year, Norris was himself rescued by another SEAL Michael E. Thornton.More @ Medal of Honor Roll Call

==============================My third great grandfather was an Ensign in the Revolutionary War, and saved his unit's flag after being wounded at the Battle of Brandywine. He was also at Kingston (Kinston), Wilmington, Charleston, Two Sisters and Augusta. He was at the defeat at Brier Creek and also Bee Creek.

My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.

He was a drummer boy in the WBTS, survived the War only to die a few years later. He was caught in an ice storm on his way home, but instead of seeking shelter, continued on his horse until the end. His clothes had to be cut off and he died a few days later.

Thank you

I would just like you to know how so very glad I am that I found your blog. I have learned more history from you and the many links that you post than I have from reading all my history books. I can never thank you enough for the education you are freely giving me. It is priceless. And eye opening.

Many times I will not comment, but that does not mean I am not reading and learning.

You sir, are an educator. Thank you.

Good morning Mr. Townsend,

Just to let you know I have finally finished that massive tome on General Lee. I never knew 1/10th of what a great man he was. No wonder the South is so proud of him! So sad that we have few men of his caliber today. We need them desperately. I have learned more history through you and your blog than I thought I could ever learn. I am very grateful to you. Thank you so much for taking time to answer my e-mail. And thank you for your blog and for opening my eyes.

".......So good to hear from you! And also so pleased you are converting more of us Yankees! You have no idea how many people you have taught. And how many are so grateful to you for showing us the truth."

Your faithful friend,

==============================

I have also learned from Brock Townsend and two nurses lately, that appreciation expressed by someone for whom you have great respect overwhelms the lack of appreciation by some from whom you expect it. I believe that we cannot really know which small bit of help makes the life-saving difference. ﻿I may have learned more real American history on Brock's blog than in 20 years of government schooling.

I have learned more history from you than all the years I was supposed to be in school (and not out hunting or fishing).

==============================

I really must say, I like thousands of others have said, your blog is the best out there and with all of your history and experience, you should run for *president. I look forward to reading your blog every day and every day I learn from you. Thank you for the time you put into this effort .

Sincerely,

Scott Fitts

*It would have to be an improvement. :) BT

Hi Brock,

Ever since I picked up on your blog I "Knew" you were a "Gentleman of the South!" You lack the "Crassness" that is so prevalent in today's Sociopolitical arena but speak with the Firmness in Truth and Conviction of Right like the words of our Late Great President Jefferson Davis! That is Honorable.

I have been thinking about this for a while now. At first it was a very subtle notice, then it became larger as I saw more. Then it bloomed to me to be what it is. In your writings, in your Blog, Brock, "You" have written, posted and done more to eradicate the "Revisionist History" forced on us by the "Northern Aggressors,"BAR NONE!!!" The "Stars and Bars" fly High and Proud today even more thanks to your efforts!

Reading your post on 03 JUNE about the birthday of President Jefferson Davis and the "quotes" of his was the galvanizing statement! The first words of "His" you posted say so much, are timeless and can never be "Destroyed!" by any man! .......and those words were........

"Truth crushed to the earth is still truth still and like a seed will rise again."--Jefferson Davis (1808-1889)

In so many ways you and your efforts to keep and carry on the "Truth of the South" are the water and light of the Sun that nourish "That Seed" that Jefferson Davis speaks of! That "Seed" of "Southern Truth!" That cannot be vanquished because of efforts like Men as yourself!

Thanks for your selfless effort,

The "Stars and Bars" FLY!

Dear Mr. Townsend,

I wanted to write to thank you for the pleasure and education I have received from reading your blog "Free North Carolina". I can honestly say that FNC is one of the first sites I visit daily.

I am a northerner by birth yet I consider the vilification of all things "South" a true and tragic disgrace. Your work has enabled me to become more familiar with a culture that I admire, yet have never really been familiar with.

Keep up the outstanding work!

A friend north of the Mason-Dixon Line,

My good sir,

I have been reading your blog for years, filling-in the woeful gaps in my knowledge thanks to your efforts, and have been truly impressed with not merely the depth and breadth of the topics you broach, but the frank and honest way you deal with them.

I salute you.

You cannot imagine my immense delight at just reading the "Witting, intentionally, and willfully..." posted on your site, that you linked to Theo Spark's blog.
